$650 wedges: PXG Sugar Daddy 0311 and Forged 0311 wedges for 2020

2020 PXG Sugar Daddy Milled 0311

PXG has launched its new wedges for 2020: the 100 percent CNC milled Sugar Daddy 0311 and 0311 Forged.

PXG’s Sugar Daddy 0311 milled wedges are forged with an oversized 3x forged blank and are 100% milled to ensure each sole, face profile shape, and leading-edge radii are made exactly the way the product was designed, while the 0311 forged wedges contain a 3x forged body.

Both the 2020 Sugar Daddy 0311 milled wedges and 0311 Forged wedges from PXG feature high toe weighting which draws the CG higher and more towards the center of the clubhead. The result of this more elevated and more central CG is designed to increase spin and improve playability on open face chip and pitch shots.

The new additions from PXG contain multiple sole options – the 09 sole and 07 sole. The 09 sole is a traditional and versatile sole option which bids to provide excellent performance from all types of grass and conditions. In contrast, the 07 sole option is a narrow sole which is ideal for playing open-face chip and pitch shots – particularly from tight turf conditions. The multiple sole options are available in PXG’s 58 and 60-degree wedges.

Both wedges from PXG are constructed of 8620 steel, a strong but soft alloy designed to prolong the life of the grooves, as well as enhance the overall appearance of the club over time.

The proprietary weighting system on the new wedges from PXG aims to optimize both CG location and MOI while also providing a method to increase the total head mass adjustability range, with both lightweight titanium and heavier tungsten weights implemented.

PXG’s 2020 Sugar Daddy 0311 milled wedges are available at a price of $650 in Chrome and $750 Xtreme Dark, while the brand’s 0311 Forged wedges cost $295.

    Might seem extravagant, but your shanks will have buttery feel to them not found in mere $120 wedges.

    This is ridiculous. Talk about being out of touch with the average golfer. What a pretentious company.
    Who NEEDS such wedges?

    $650 a wedge is exactly what’s wrong with golf now-a-days.

    Could care less how their products perform, pxg will never receive $1 from me.

      The worst part is that they give bad ideas On pricing to other manufacturers. 5 years ago it was easy to find great wedges under $100, not anymore.

    Incorrect info. They are no longer making these in black finish. And “extreme dark” was a limited run model of the 0311t Milled wedges. Made personally for Bob parsons. The shape and specs were slightly different, just as the Romeo and Zulu were, which they are also no longer making. Only chrome sugar daddy milled wedges for gen 2. I’ve hit the all, including the new model sugar daddy, and I MUCH PREFER the gen1 models over the new ones, for several reasons.

    $650+ for a wedge is absurd.

Q&A: Martin Trainer on his Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers” putter, 6.5-degree driver, and “butter knife” 2-iron

Published

on

As unbiasedly as I can put it, Martin Trainer has one of the coolest club setups in professional golf. (At some point soon, I’ll put together a top-10 list of “coolest club setups on Tour,” but I know that Trainer will be in the top-10)

What a lineup. He plays a 6.5-degree Wilson prototype driver, a 13-degree Wilson prototype 3-wood, a true blade Wilson Staff Model 2-iron, and a Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers Commemorative” putter!

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

I mean, look at this 2-iron from address…

To quote the great author R.L. Stine: “Goosebumps.”

On Wednesday at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, I caught up with Trainer to learn more about his bag setup.

Here’s what he had to say:

You have the Internet going crazy over your bag setup, and your putter. Where’d you pick the Bobby Grace-Greg Chalmers putter up? How long have you had it?

MT: This was from when Bobby Grace came to my course in California: Cal Club. And for whatever reason, they just started having them in the shop. So then I took my buddy’s, started using it, and made, like, a million putts in a row, which is how every putter story begins, I guess.

And then, I bought a couple of my own, used it for years, got to the Tour with it, won on Tour with it (the 2019 Puerto Rico Open). Then, about a year later, started using another putter, did that for a couple years, but now it’s back in the bag.

When did it come back in the bag?

MT: December of this past year. So a few months ago.

What year would you say was the first time you threw that in the bag, or, like, when you bought it?

MT: God…Probably, 2016, maybe? 2018?

Do you remember how much you paid for it?

MT: I don’t know, actually. Maybe $100-150 bucks or something. I think that’s the only golf club I’ve bought between high school and now. Well, two, since I bought two of them.

The driver is interesting, too. What went into the prototyping process?

MT: That was a version of the current driver, but it was the prototype that they first came out with for Tour guys to try. And for whatever reason, I just never switched out to the new one.

It’s just 6.5 degrees, right?

MT: Yeah. Very low loft, yeah.

What kind of ball speed do you have with that these days?

MT: Like high 170’s.

Yeah, that’ll work. And then a 2-iron blade? We’re seeing fewer and fewer of those out here.

MT: Yeah. The butter knife.

Very cool thing to have in the bag. Have you done any testing with driving irons? 

MT: Yeah, I used to have a thicker one, but it was a little offset, and I never hit it that well. And then finally, I started messing around with the butter knife. And I remember the first time I looked down at it, I was terrified. And then I ended up getting used to it, putting it in play, and it’s been in place since. It’s a pretty good club for me.

How far do you carry that? 

MT: Like 235.

A good little wind club, I’m sure.

MTL Yeah, exactly. I can hit it very low. It’s great.

I love it. You have people shook looking at that. Thanks for the time, man. 

MT: Absolutely.
